JSP String value problem - Websphere

This is a discussion on JSP String value problem - Websphere ; Hi,
I have a JSR168 portlet that uses portlet preferences to store a HTML
string.
When I want to display this value in my JSP, I'm calling:
String breadcrumbText = (String)preferences.getValue
(MyPortlet.EDIT_DEFAULTS_KEY7, "");
%>
The value of breadcrumbText is: bold ...
